ログインEven the judge hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. After all, the prerequisite for not assuming the debts was that the party hadn't benefited from them. However, in most cases, one party would contribute to the family's living expenses, making it difficult for the other party to prove that they hadn't benefited from them. Cora hadn't given me—or the household—a single cent all these years, and that became the strongest evidence against her. Destiny worked in mysterious ways.…A week later, the court delivered its verdict. I successfully recovered the 12 million dollars she had given Callum, and due to her egregious fault, I was awarded 80% of the marital assets, which totaled 92 million dollars. Cora, on the other hand, not only had to compensate me, but she also had to figure out a way to slowly pay off all her debts. However, I had to wonder, who would hire someone who was branded as both a plagiarist and an accomplice to murder? After receiving my share of the asset
The divorce trial officially commenced. Cora had hired the most-undefeated divorce attorney in all of Aldermoor. He was the lawyer who had dealt me six consecutive defeats. However, things were different now. The hotshot lawyer, who was usually aggressive, softened his tone and began spinning a story about how our marriage was still salvageable. "My client has proof that Cora and Galen are still living together. Moreover, the plaintiff has always been adamant about obtaining custody of the child, which is sufficient to prove that their marriage is still salvageable. We respectfully request the court to preside over a mediation."Mr. Hill adjusted his glasses and firmly objected. "Objection! Here are five years' worth of intimate chat records between the defendant and the third party, Callum Scott. "The defendant had made large monetary transfers to him over an extended period, and the two of them referred to each other as husband and wife. This is sufficient to prove that the
Giselle's tears immediately streamed down her face. After taking such a massive blow, Cora had no time to take care of Giselle. At the moment, her clothes were wrinkled and stained, her hair was a mess, and her eyelids were red and swollen from crying for who knew how many days. Before she could utter a word, I shut her down. "You're not a little girl anymore, Giselle. Tell me, do you think the things you've done are worthy of everything I've done for you?"Ever since she was born, my heart had always ached for her. It pained me to see her suffer through sickness at such a tender age. I also felt guilty toward her because of the time I was hospitalized in the ICU. Yet, she had always taken my patience and tenderness for granted.This was the first time I'd ever given the cold shoulder, and she couldn't stomach it. Biting her lip, she wept, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I was wrong. Y-You can spank me and scold me, but please don't abandon me!"Looking at her childish face, I asked calmly,
Cora, on the other hand, had no time to pay Giselle any mind, as the video on the screen was still playing. After a series of sickening, wet squinches and rhythmically pounding sounds, Cora, who was slick with sweat, sank back into her executive chair. "Callum, did you resolve the technical copyright issue I sent you overseas to handle?" she asked.Covered in love bites, Callum rolled his eyes at her. "I guess I still haven't worked hard enough, considering you're already talking business the moment you get off me. It sure is exhausting, having to please you in bed and on the job."Cora's expression hardened in an instant. "Answer me. This concerns the future of our company." "Of course it's been resolved. He's silenced for good. You really take the cake, you know? Not only did you plagiarize their core code, but you even let them take it to the press. In the end, I still had to clean up your mess."Cora pinched his cheek, smiling sweetly. "I knew you were adaptable. Had I sent
As soon as the words slipped out, Cora caught herself, and her expression hardened. Seated below the stage were Burnwell's most influential media outlets, deep-pocketed investors with powerful connections, and competitors who had been eyeing her position like vultures. Sure enough, a reporter stepped forward, shoving their microphone in her face. "Ms. Moore, what exactly do you mean by your company's assets being frozen? Does this mean that Zenitha Group has engaged in unlawful activities?"More microphones were thrust into her face."Ms. Moore, what are your thoughts on the sudden plummet in your company's stock price? Will you resign to take responsibility?" "Ms. Moore, if the third-generation robot fails to launch on schedule, the company could face billions in damages…" "Ms. Moore…"A sheen of sweat beaded across Cora's forehead. To make matters worse, her assistant's anxious voice came through the phone. "Ms. Moore, there's a video online that's going viral—""Silence!
Cora was shell-shocked. Instinctively, she asked, "Do you really not want her anymore?"I raised my head to meet her gaze. "Yes."Then, I pointed at Giselle. "Her, and you. I don't want either of you anymore."After a moment of silence, Cora softened her tone. "I know you're just throwing a tantrum again, Galen. Giselle is our daughter, after all. So long as you behave and stop targeting Callum, you can become our neighbor. Giselle can visit you once a month, too."Giselle also hesitated before chiming in, "That's right. Even though I like Cal the most, you can still become my second dad.""That won't be necessary." I shook my head. "I only have one condition, and that's to divide our marital assets." Cora's expression instantly hardened.Giselle froze. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she lunged at me and hit me. "You really were trying to sell me off, you horrible man! You never loved me or Mommy. You were only in it for the money!"She still wanted to hit me, but I deftly c
